This free hike-in campsite sits within State Game Lands 217, managed by the Pennsylvania Game Commission near the Appalachian Trail. Campers access the site by hiking from Blue Mountain Road parking, with the trail leading to a secluded spot set back from the main path. A bed of pine needles creates natural ground padding across multiple flat tent areas, while an established fire pit anchors the camping zone.
Pine trees provide overhead cover that offers protection during weather events, though summer vegetation can make the site challenging to locate without advance planning. The campsite accommodates groups well with its spacious layout and allows both campfires and pets. Hikers often use this as a staging point before tackling Lehigh Gap, with campgrounds near Palmerton providing additional options for those preferring vehicle access.
